Well it is finally starting to come together. We were supposed to leave on 11 July to head north up the Queensland coast. Things transpired against us but at last things are starting to come together. We are currently on the hard at Scarborough antifouling. On Saturday we will have our mooring buoy put in at Bongaree on Bribie Island and on Monday the rigger is finally coming to start to redo our rigging. All this means that we may be able to finally set sail in a northerly direction next weekend!!! Yaaaaay!

Dell, Peter & Pacific Express

About Us and Our Boat

Pacific Express is a 38 foot steel Ganley Timerider sloop with a 1.8m draft built in New Zealand in 1987. We purchased her Christmas 2004. We have completed the 2009 Indonesian Rally and cruised Thailand. In 2011 we joined the Sail Malaysia to the East rally and saw Borneo and Brunei. 2012 we have circumnavigated Palawan in the Philippines. We have included our anchorages for the Australian coast 2008 & 2009 and our Indonesian and Malaysian anchorages with lats and longs - they appear in the January 2010 entries. We arrived back at Newport Marina, Brisbane on 9th December 2012.
